ABSTRACT
Freshmen applicants are given an entrance examination to determine readiness for tertiary education in all fields. The result of the test is a determining factor whether the applicant is accepted or not in the school or program from which the applicant seeks admission. Schools may opt to use a standardized test which may be purchased from an outside vendor or from a teacher-made test which can be validated within by the officer in-charge. Academic achievement represents performance outcomes that indicate the extent to which a person has accomplished specific goals that were the focus of activities in instructional environments, specifically in school, college, and university.
The study used the correlation research design to determine the extent to which two factors are related, not the extent to which one factor causes changes in another factor. Respondents are first year to third year students of school year 2015-2016. A total of 69 students who took the entrance examination and enrolled under the Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (BSCS) program served as the respondents of the study. The study used several variables such as the entrance examination results (Stanine) and students' academic performance (final grade) in 25 BSCS professional courses.
